I just returned from a stay at the Mhlati Guest Cottages and can't recommend the property enough. The family greeted us with smiles and a comfortable atmosphere. The quiet location is in a gated neighborhood so security is not an issue. The rooms are nicely appointed with large clean bathrooms and plenty of hot water. After a long drive we... More

After over 16 hours traveling we arrived to this lovely property close to Kruger Park. We were welcomed and received a great service from Eric and his family. They accommodated our need for dinner and we sure had a great time. Food was great, rooms were clean and cozy and the ambiance was perfect for our group. We sure will... More

We stay there for two night in the leopard suite. 2 rooms which are very atseful funitured. The garden is like a paradise for relaxing. The south africans who run the place were very open and helpful in all questions and discusions you have about the country and the society. The whole place is one of our best accomodation in... More

We visited Mhlati Guest Cottages for the second time in January 2013. Eric and Jan welcomed us like old friends and we were delighted to be back. We again stayed in the Elephant Room which is our favourite and has everything that one could possibly want for a comfortable stay - excellent beds, superb shower, plenty of space, great attention...

Mhlati Guesthouse was the best choice we could have made to stay at the Kruger area as the hosts Eric and Janet were the most helpful people we met in South Africa. They let us borrow their binoculars for our safari trip and didn't mind to make us breakfast at 5:30 in the morning even. The rooms were really cosy... More

The roon is clean, spacious,extremely comfortable and maintained very well. You could find everything you need in the room. Eric and Jane are friendly and make everyone feel at home. The location is just 2km from Malelane gate and convenient for Safari. The only thing which is not so safisfied is there are not many activities which could be done... More

If you stay here be prepared to endure the strong musty smell of the roof. Our rooms had no insect screens on the windows, so we were reluctant to open them as the owner warned us that mosquitos would more than likely enter. The bathroom had mould and the rooms were quite dusty. The breakfast was freshly made but it... More

We chose Mhlati on the basis of prior TA reviews. Given that so many came from first time reviewers, one is often suspicious that the reviews are solicited by the proprietors and therefore of dubious value. There was no need for concern in this case. This is a thoroughly excellent facility, purpose designed for guests. Our room, while not large,... More

I travel all over SA for work and stay in a lot of BB's. I have been using Mhlati for the past 6 years and the experience have always been EXCELLENT. They have the best accomodation and best value for money of all the guest houses I stay in. Jane and Eric are friendly hosts that always makes me feel... More
